EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scene of daily life in the way of Ricovero, Rione Ripa in Rome" takes us back to a bygone era. Captured between 1880 and 1885 by the talented photographer Roesler Franz Ettore, this image offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Rome during that time. In the foreground, we see an array of activities unfolding on the road that no longer exists today - Rome's via del Ricovero. The scale and diversity are remarkable; people from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines. From merchants engaging in commerce and trade to individuals engrossed in writing or communication, this scene truly captures the essence of urban life. Amidst this lively street scene stands the majestic house of Pierleoni, its grandeur serving as a testament to Roman architecture at its finest. Its presence adds depth and character to an already vibrant setting. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we notice a goat peacefully grazing nearby – one among many terrestrial mammals that once roamed freely alongside humans within city limits. This harmonious coexistence is beautifully captured here. The store or shop visible on one side hints at commercial activity taking place within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even then, commerce was an integral part of everyday life for Romans. Through this photograph, Roesler Franz Ettore manages to transport us back over a century ago when Rome was alive with action and energy. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural splendor but also how communication and means of transportation have evolved since then. This print from Alinari is more than just an image; it is a window into history itself – inviting us to reflect upon how much has changed while reminding us that some aspects remain timeless.
